 Gm
 Gather round ye people
 Ab2
 And mind you listen well
Eb/Bb Cm7/G
 I got an epic tale to tell you
Ab2    Bb/F
 From the land of tamriel

Fm/7  Cm/G                      Ab2
 I was traveling north of cyrodil
Ab2
 In the province of skyrim
Eb/Bb  F4
 I had just arrived in whiterun
Eb   F4
 And that's where I met him

Eb4
 Well, to me he looked like
        Cm   Eb4
 Just another guard
 Eb4
 Walking down the street
 Eb     Cm/G
 But to him, it seemed
               Ab
 I stuck right out
Bb4/F
 Like a bald khajiit

Gm      Ab
 And he walked right up to me
     Cm/G         Bb4
 With a look of nostalgia in his eye
 Cm        Bb4
 He said, "we are not so 
different,..."
             C4
 "... You and I."
C4
 Then he said

 Gm        Ab       Eb           
"I used to be an adventurer like 
Gm
you,"
            Cm/G    Ab           
"But then i took an arrow in the 
Eb
knee!"
Cm        Gm        Ab
"Just ask any of my fellow guards—"
 Eb                         Gm
"They'll tell you that it's true—"
        Cm      Ab           Eb
"That i took an arrow in the knee!"

 Gm
 Well he told me he was on duty
 Ab2
 So he couldn't stay to chat
Eb/Bb Cm7/G
 Someone stole a sweetroll
Ab2    Bb/F
 And he was investigating that

Fm/7  Cm/G                      
I said, "don't let me hold you up, 
Ab2
sir."
Ab2
And then we parted ways
Eb/Bb  F4
I mumbled to myself
Eb   F4
"This is looking like one of those 
days."

Eb4
I was feeling kind of tired
        Cm   Eb4
Decided to head right for the inn
Eb4
But i'd never been here before
 Eb     Cm/G
Didn't know what direction it was in

Gm      Ab
I walked up to another guard
    Cm/G         Bb4
And asked him where i could find a 
bed
 Cm        Bb4
He looked at me
                            C4
Then he smiled, and then he said

 Gm        Ab       Eb           
"I used to be an adventurer like 
Gm
you,"
            Cm/G    Ab           
"But then i took an arrow in the 
Eb
knee!"
Cm        Gm        Ab
"Just ask any of my fellow guards—"
 Eb                         Gm
"They'll tell you that it's true—"
        Cm      Ab           Eb
"That i took an arrow in the knee!"

Cm               Gm   Ab     Eb
"An arrow in the kneeeeeeeeeeee!"
Cm               Gm   Ab     Eb
"An arrow in the kneeeeeeeeeeee!"

 Gm
The first one was kind of random
 Ab2
But now i was freaking out
Eb/Bb Cm7/G
I was thinking i should run away
Ab2    Bb/F
Or use a dragon shout

Fm/7  Cm/G
I was starting to calm down
Ab2
And that's when i looked up and saw
Eb/Bb  F4
Another guard

Coming right toward me!
Eb/Bb  F4
That's when i said

"Fus ro dah!"

Eb4
Well in retrospect
        Cm   Eb4
That turned out to be
Eb4
Not the greatest plan
 Eb     Cm/G
Now I'm sprinting for the stables—
Ab          Bb4/F
Running as fast as i can

Gm      Ab
But it's just my luck—
    Cm/G         Bb4
The stablemaster knows how to use a 
bow
 Cm        Bb4
Now he's aiming for my legs!
C4
Oh noooooooooooooo!
